Back in 1994, Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin wowed sci-fi audiences with Stargate. This original feature re-imagined ancient mythology as a reflection of not the divine, but the otherworldly. The Egyptian sun god Ra, played by Jaye Davidson, was not so much a spiritual entity who interacted with humanity, but rather an alien overlord awaiting his inevitable return. So, when an ancient stargate is found in Giza, the world is threatened by the possibility of another incursion. Kurt Russell and James Spader starred in the film as Col. Jack O'Neil and Dr. Daniel Jackson, respectively, who venture through the portal to a whole new world. But did you know that there were originally plans to make not just a sequel to Stargate, but a whole trilogy? It turns out, Emmerich and Devlin had the whole thing figured out, until Stargate SG-1 got in the way.

Few directors capture modern life so vividly as Mia Hansen-Løve, and only in some cases does she show it in English-language contexts. Suggesting something of a bold leap, then, to read her next feature, If Love Should Die, will concern the 18th-century English feminist philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft. An official synopsis tells us it’s set “on the eve of the French Revolution,” concerning “an impoverished young Englishwoman makes the bold decision to lead her life according to the ideals of the enlightenment.” Which implies a multi-lingual production––Wollstonecraft also spoke French and German––a hunch supported by the notice that cameras roll next year in the United Kingdom, France, Scandinavia, and Portugal. MUBI will produce and co-finance with Arte France Cinema. [THR]

From statues that weep blood to dancing suns that lead to sudden darkness in the middle of the day, the Catholic faith overflows with accounts of miracles. But in order for a miracle to be deemed as such, it must go through a series of rigorous examinations during which the vast majority of occurences are debunked. The pious Rita López (Mónica Villa), the protagonist of Tomás Gómez Bustillo’s Chronicles of a Wandering Saint, spends her days seeking to be of service in her local church, but realizes nothing will pave her path to heaven faster than coming up with her own miracle––hence she enlists her husband Norberto (Horacio Marassi) in the restoration of a statue that might have mystical powers.

When it comes to summer blockbusters, it doesn’t get much more epic than a film that first premiered nearly a century ago. For nearly two decades work has been underway to restore Abel Gance’s 1927 epic Napoleon to as close as possible to its “Apollo version,” a seven-hour cut that screened at the Apollo Theatre in Paris in 1927. As led by Georges Mourier and backed by Cinémathèque Française, with financing from Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée and Netflix, among others, this definitive version of one of the long-awaited crown jewels of silent cinema screened its first part at the Cannes Film Festival. Now, both parts (the first 3 hours and 40 minutes, the second 3 hours and 25 minutes) will be opening in France on July 10.
